Research is an essential part of Bristol Breast Care Centre and we may ask you during your visit whether you would like to take part in one of our research studies. Whether or not you take part is entirely your choice and will not affect your treatment. We will provide you with information to enable you to make an informed decision.

Clinical research is key to developing and improving treatments for patients now and in the future, so we really appreciate your time and contribution. All Breast Care consultants and medical staff fully support the research that is undertaken.

We know that finding breast cancers early saves lives.  The FAST MRI DYAMOND study is looking to see if a new form of MRI scan, called FAST MRI, can pick up aggressive cancers even earlier than mammograms can. To find out more about our Breast Care Research, please visit our dedicated Research Hub
